Pimples/cysts on penis
by gabbyj, May 31, 2003 12:00AM
i have these little white pimples or cysts on the head of the penis towards the bottom. they look like zits that you can pop but i haven't tried yet. they are on the head towards the bottom on the rim of the head. i was wondering what they were and if there is a cream or gel that can be used to get rid of these white little pimples or cysts?
Also on the bottom of my foot i have what they call a planker wart i believe. i have gone to the doctor 3 times now to have it burned off with liquid nitrogen, also to have it cut then burn. it always grows back and hurts. it looks like a callus in the middle and it turns hard. Is there a powder or gel to use to get rid of it?
Thanks.

The bumps are cysts. They are normal and should be ignored. For a good picture, see: http://www.studenthealth.co.uk/leaflets/NormalVariantsInAnogenitalSkin.htm
As for plantar warts, they are an immense annoyance. If you can ignore yours, you should. If the wart hurts, you can treat it with wart pads you can buy in the store. You can also continue getting repeated liquid nitrogen treatments. Eeventually, the wart will give up, whether you treat it or not. Surgery is not a good idea, and often the wart comes back anyway.
Best.

I’d like to describe a little bit different way how to treat health or skin problems.
I suffered from atopic eczema all my childhood. My mom tried everything possible to help me, but nothing worked. I went to see many doctors, tried every cream or pills with no results. I remember my mom how desperately she tried. One day I don't know why, but I went to see a healer who came to my town once a month to help people. Believe or not. The eczema what I was suffering from for 18 years was gone within few weeks. I learned at that time, that skin is only a mirror of my organism. The problem on the skin is just a demonstration of some of your organ problems. Skin problem is just one way how to let you know about that.
But anyway, when I was 20 years old I started to travel to different countries. Never had problems with my skin until I came to USA 5 years ago. I was OK for 4 years but last year I got severe eczema again. Except my face I had it everywhere.
I tried everything possible for few months, with no results at all. I decided to search for alternative help again. I got in touch with Mr. Gellner who was claiming he can treat any health problem over the distance by meditation. And he was saying that he was successful in 99% of all eczema cases so far .First I didn't believe it and was fighting with that problems for another months. Than I said to myself, I don't need to risk anything, if I'm going to try and I did. 5 months was nothing happening at all. On the 6th month my bad eczema disappeared within one week and never came back again. His treatment is very unusual but has the best advantage what nobody else can offer. You pay after you see the results. You can just give it a try and wait till it comes. From the time I got fixed from him, I started to promote his healing method around the world. It is not about money, but about helping to other people, because I know how people with eczema can feel in our society.
